This popular Christmas celebration in Mexico is called La Posada, a religious procession that reenacts the search for shelter by Joseph and Mary before the birth of Jesus. During the procession, the celebrants go from house to house accompanying Mary and Joseph looking for shelter.
You can see from the picture, the children walked streets covered in mud and water. We watched as they picked their way around the neighborhood near the church, singing traditional Mexican songs.
